HARROW RECREATION RESERVE $1m makeover set to proceed TARA FRY FOUR months after the Harrow Recreation Reserve received the biggest government investment into one venue or club, the steering committee looks to have a plan in action and is ready to move forward. Harrow-Balmoral Football Netball Club (HBFNC) president, Rosemary Langley, said the committee, made up of representatives from the tennis club, the West Wimmera Shire, community members and the HBFNC had voted on the designs and would soon look to advertising a tender. “It’s going to be a two-stage project,” Ms Langley said. “The plans have been panelled on and they’ve come up with the two buildings, so it’s all got to be ticked off now to go out to the tender stage.” Ms Langley said the $1 million investment from the Andrews Government was to improve the female facilities at the reserve. With the project quoted to cost around $1.3 million in total, the steering committee has worked with the recreation reserve tenants to help raise the remaining funds. “We’ve still had to pledge some money towards it on top of the $1 million that has come out of the female friendly funding,” Ms Langley said. “The rec-reserve had been pledged $150,000 in flood recovery funding in 2016, so that will be put towards the new rooms.” The new facilities will include one building at the football oval including change rooms, showers, first aid and medical rooms, and the same offered at the netball/tennis courts. The committee has also been successful in securing a $150,000 AFL Victoria grant to help them complete the project. Ms Langley said due to the nature of the grant, a number of boxes needed to be ticked in the planning stage to meet the guidelines outlined by the “female friendly” grant. The HBFNC president said a lot of drainage works needed to be completed before work could begin, which she projected to be mid-2019. “We are envisioning this time next year before it comes to fruition,” she said. Ms Langley said the grant was made possible by a hard-working team, who needed to be commended. “There has been a great community aspect of it and these groups have all come together and worked very hard in the last couple of months to bring it to fruition,” she said. “They’ve done a great job to get the best result for the community. “The West Wimmera Shire has been absolutely exceptional.” Ms Langley said although it was amazing the Harrow Recreation Reserve facilities were receiving such improvements, the Balmoral Recreation Reserve was also in need of some serious upgrades. “If we could only get some help for the Balmoral Recreation Reserve to bring their project to fruition after the many years of hard work the community have put in,” she said. “We need that club to get up and going and we’re working closely with them. “They’ve had a huge community contribution.” IVY Steel, has directly reaped the rewards from funds raised on Daffodil Day.
